Mike Posner sudah menunjukkan keinginannya sebagai recording artist sedari SMA dimana dirinya menghasilkan sebuah mixtape yang dikasih judul "Reflections of a Lost Teen". Kemudian di masa-masa kuliah, dia gabung sama Don Cannon dan DJ Benzi untuk membuat mixtape lagi yang berjudul "A Matter Of Time". Di dalam mixtape inilah lagu 'Cooler Than Me' pertama kali diperdengarkan. Dan memang berkat mixtape ini juga Mike Posner berhasil dikontrak sama label rekaman J Records. Dan sebagai bukti awal kehadiran Mike dalam di dunia musik yang lebih luas, lagu ini kemudian dirilis sebagai single pertama Mike dengan versi yang baru, 'Cooler Than Me (Single Mix)'.
Buat kamu yang berpegangan bahwa sebuah lagu dancepop itu tidak harus berisik, 'Cooler Than Me (Single Mix)' ini pasti kamu suka. Musiknya jinak, tidak hingar bingar layaknya dancepop lainnya. Drum beat yang digunakan sama sepanjang lagu, suara kibor dan synthesized instruments yang bervariasi. Untuk vokal, Mike memiliki warna vokal yang lembut, seperti Justin Timberlake atau Robin Thicke. Perez Hilton menyebutnya soothing dan hypnotic.
Pesona Mike Posner lainnya adalah tampangnya yang cute dan usianya yang masih muda. Membuatnya lebih menjanjikan karena diharapkan bisa lebih mengeksplorasi musik yang ia ciptakan. Dengan kemampuannya mengkomposisikan lagu juga memproduserinya, besar kemungkinan untuk Mike lebih menggali potensi diri. Album debutnya akan diberi judul "31 Minutes to Takeoff" akan dirilis 10 Agustus mendatang. So, be prepared for one of the hottest new artist this year!

Lyrics:
If I could write you a song to make you fall in love
I would already have you up under my arm
I used up all of my tricks, I hope that you like this
But you probably won't, you think you're cooler than me
You got designer shades just to hide your face and
You wear 'em around like you're cooler than me
And you never say "hey" or remember my name
And it's probably 'cause you think you're cooler than me
You got your high brow shoes on your feet
And you wear 'em around like it ain't shit
But you don't know the way that you look
When your steps make that much noise
Shh, see I got you all figured out
You need every one's eyes just to feel seen
Behind your make up nobody knows who you even are
Who do you think that you are?
If I could write you a song to make you fall in love
I would already have you up under my arm
I used up all of my tricks, I hope that you like this
But you probably won't, you think you're cooler than me
You got designer shades just to hide your face and
You wear 'em around like you're cooler than me
And you never say "hey" or remember my name
And it's probably 'cause you think you're cooler than me
You got your high brow switch in your walk
And you don't even look when you pass by
But you don't know the way that you look
When your steps make that much noise
Shh, see I got you all figured out
You need every one's eyes just to feel seen
Behind your make up nobody knows who you even are
Who do you think that you are?
If I could write you a song to make you fall in love

I would already have you up under my arm
I used up all of my tricks, I hope that you like this
But you probably won't, you think you're cooler than me
You got designer shades just to hide your face and
You wear 'em around like you're cooler than me
And you never say "hey" or remember my name
And it's probably 'cause you think you're cooler than me
Now don't you dare act like you know don't know
Know what's up? 'Cause your nose is up
I'm approaching up, pshh, yup
Like I can't give you winter in the summer
A summer in the winter, Miami in December
Trying to look bored in them Diors, she probably is
Was acting shallow 'til she found out how deep that my pockets is
Mrs. pre-Madonna, this is your reminder
That I think you fine, but I'm finer
'Cause it sure seems
('Cause it sure seems)
You got no doubt
(That you got no doubt)
But we all see
(We all see)
You got your head in the clouds
(Clouds)
If I could write you a song to make you fall in love
I would already have you up under my arm
(Under my arm)
I used up all of my tricks, I hope that you like this
But you probably won't, you think you're cooler than me
You got designer shades just to hide your face and
You wear 'em around like you're cooler than me
And you never say "hey" or remember my name
And it's probably 'cause you think you're cooler than me
